Lol, "build". Not much of one, but I appreciate it.

No, but I really need to. All the materials are sitting right next to the Jeep.

Lol. Must of your cutting and welding doesn't apply to my XJ. Considering your job, you should do a MOLLE set up.

Its been too long since I updated or really did anything to my XJ.
So I went and spent money. Nothing real crazy, but getting fairly serious.

2002 Jeep Liberty. Its taking the dd space for my wife. I'll start dding her TJ Wrangler when I'm not on the motorcycle. The Cherokee can now be taken apart for lengthy periods of time, so major projects can begin.

Its got all power options, 4wd, and has less than 750 miles on a remaned motor.

Pic 2:

Finally dropped the cash on a 115v/230v welder. Hobart 210 mvp.

First project with that: Frame Stiffeners.

Pic 3:

Got a Lockright for $230. I have an arb locker for the front, but I'm building an axle that will house that.
I got this at a great price from Rustys offroad to have something while I build the other axle.

I've driven it a handful of times. Surprisingly it feels way more like a car than I expected.

In the middle of lazily doing my water pump, radiator, etc.

Too much working, not enough drinking.
